And what is a life worth? When I lived in NJ I hung out at Island Dragway. There was a fellow with a Colt that had a tube chassis that had a wedge in it. He went cartwheeling off into the corn fields one night. Luckily he was not hurt. When they found him he was out of the car, sitting on a slick waiting for help to arrive. Block let loose, blew out the motor mount area soaking the rear tires and away he went. I think if a good block were available at the time he would have gladly spent the additional 2k or what ever it is to avoid crashing his car...
